Odysseus’ strategies through out his journey were impressive and some were very smart. When I saw how he escaped from the Cyclops cave. He came up with the idea of stabbing the Cyclops in his only eye to blind him and escape by hiding under his sheep, but the only thing that he did that was not very smart was shouting to the Cyclops and telling him his real name and hometown so the Cyclops put a curse on Odysseus.
Some of his other good strategies that he used was when he took back his home from the suitors. When Odysseus was away after twenty years of being away, the people from all over Ithica came and took over his home. Each of them try to get married to his wife Penelope. The main suitor, Antinous, treated Odysseus very poorly while he was disguised as a beggar. I am helping him along with my father Zeus to get his home and wife back.
But before we can do that Odysseus has to wait to get the signal from Zeus so while he is waiting he watches the suitors attempt to pass a test. After none of them can pass it he asks for a try while he is looking it over before he shoots the arrow he hears Zeus’ sign to get ready to attack the suitors. Then the battle was on and as I stood by Odysseus as he killed every last one of the suitors. Then I watched as he proved that he was really Odysseus and his home belonged to him once more.
